Lynx Technik yellobrik OSW 1022 2x2 Optical Switch

The OSW 1022 is an optical 2x2 switch that facilitates connection paths between two pairs of fiber optics. This compact switch is suitable for a wide range of applications, including fiber line emergency switchover, route diversity, optical networking system protection, and reconfiguration. It allows the selection of passive optical paths via General Purpose Interface (GPI) control, local dip switches, or PC/Mac through the yelloGUI software. The switch supports both latching and non-latching modes. In latching mode, the optical switch maintains the current optical connection path (state) and does not change on power failure. In non-latching mode, the optical switch switches to State 1 connection path upon power failure. When power is restored, the switch reverts to the connection path set by the dip switch or the GUI.
